Born in 1953 in St. Louis I sure remember all the Cards games versus Don Drysdale but do not remember seeing him looking this young. This was a great find for me on UA-cam.
Geez, I was eight yers old then and I sure as heck knew who Don Drysdale was and what he looked like. My older sister's favorite player. Come on, they just won the World Series on TV, they had to know him.
@@gj4578 I saw a couple of other What's My Line episodes wherein they had Colonel Sanders and Brian Epstein(Beatle's manager). On the 2nd one, a panelist DID recognize Brian and withdrew from that round . The rest eventually guessed what Brian's "line" was. Nobody guessed what the Colonel did.
@@charlieknowlton7003 : I saw that one with Colonel Sanders also. He didn't become a millionaire until he was 65 years old. I think that was in the early sixties. I'll have to look for the Brian Epstein one.
This was done as a way for Drysdale to get recognition in Hollywood for TV and movies. He no doubt had an agent who arranged this. The imposters on this show were often aspiring actors. The Dating Game and other game shows were other programs that agents and aspiring actors/actresses got some visibility.
@@gj4578 Actually, Arnold did not sign his name. He signed in as "Mr X". But his face was not hidden (as they did for "mystery guests"). They would have known him by his name, but nobody knew him by his face.
Most early parks had the pitcher throw towards the west, so the batter would face east away from Sun. So the pitcher pitching hand was facing always south. Therefore being called a southpaw...
But he didn't fully explain it. The diamond was facing west so the batter didn't have to make out the pitch while looking into the setting sun. The pitcher didn't have that problem because of the grandstand behind the batter.
Why is Bud Collyer allowed to interrupt an answer (like he did when Tom Boston asked Drysdale a question) and then ring the bell, preventing the answer to be given? If Collyer is going to constantly interject, the answer should be allowed to be given.
Bud did that from time to time, but he was particularly annoying in this episode, taking away from the questioning time by interjecting his rather poor jokes as well as supplying answers for the contestants. Tom Poston got so disgusted that he got up and pretended to walk out. Hopefully he made his point, if not then than after the show was over.
On several of the clips of this show I've been watching, it's surprising how many persons, especially in the sports world, did not have a much higher recognizability factor by the panel, and maybe the audience. I saw one of these show clips where Y.A. Tittle, former 49er & NY Giant QB, was included as one of the two "decoy" personalities. As a 49er fan from 1957 I knew Tittle the second he walked out, and interesting that when the two "impostors" stated their real names and what they did, Tittle simply said he was an insurance salesman with no mention that he was or had been a pro QB! Interesting that the growth and expansion of sports over the years has made it now where the sports and entertainment figures are immediately and highly recognizable by most of the public.
I believe that episode was broadcast shortly after Tittle was traded to the NY Giants and he didn't yet know he was going to be their star quarterback.
The New York Giants football team was a big source of impostors for TTTT. Besides Y.A. Tittle (mentioned in a comment already), Jim Lee Howell (head coach), Tom Landry (assistant coach), Andy Robustelli, Kyle Rote and others were impostors.
Why are people dumbfounded that they didn't recognize Drysdale ? He was only 23 and no cable TV. Even today, how many people could identify Gerrit Cole?
I know Drysdale because he appeared on The Beverly Hillbillies. I don't know if this was the show I was at but my mother and I went up to Van Vooren on the street after the show...she was very friendly and beautiful
Going into the 1959 season Drysdale was considered a good but not great Dodger starting pitcher. '59 was his breakout season. He would be considered their top pitcher until a couple of years later when Sandy Koufax learned control and became the best pitcher in all of baseball.
Monique was no dumb blone. She spoke over 5 languages and could read/write in others. I knew that Don A would know Don D. Kitty didn't know a baseball from a football. Monique looked stunning.
There was only 1 game a week in the 1960's, games were telecast in grainy black and white on small 16" TV's, and a baseball cap partially obscured their appearance.
I just don't get Round # 1. Don Drysdale was near the top of his game when this episode was broadcast. I can understand Kitty Carlisle and Monique Van Vooren not recognizing him--but Tom Poston? This would have been like not knowing what Babe Ruth looked like in the 1920's!
519DJW I agree!! Drysdale was an All-Star and earned a victory in the 1959 World Series. One thing for sure if Arlene Francis was a panelist,she would get it right,blindfolded.
agree, but it was a different time. Most games were on radio and only regional, but of course he would have been on magazine covers and newspapers. Weird for sure.
Cmon now, everyone knows who Don Drysdale is,especially when he's in Dodgers uniform#53. very humurous Kitty states 'I've never been to a ball game',twice! I oughta find out more information about Monique-- Don could wrap his arms around her 5 times.
Tom Poston was technically incorrect. All ballparks were required to have home plate in the SW corner to keep all parks uniform. So during delivery the left-handed pitcher was sweeping his arm across the south part of the diamond, not the pitcher was facing west.
The idea was that the batter should not have to pick up the pitch coming out of the sitting sun, which could be dangerous. Home plate may have bene situated in the southwest in old downtown ball parks where streets ran north-south and east-west so they picked the southwest corner to put home plate in.
A left-handed Pitcher is called a Southpaw because when he's on the mound and looks toward first base, he looking directly South. Most stadiums were built like that in Baseballs early days--position of the Sun and all.
Not exactly…Posten was correct. The old stadiums were in fact built with home plate/the defense facing South. So a lefty’s pitch would come from the South side, ergo Southpaw.
I haven't watched it yet, but i see that Norma Kurtz is the same one involved in the infamous "sheap plucking" incident on the Oct. 5, '58 episode of WML?. ;)
Had they dressed #3 in a Dodger uniform I don’t think they’d have guessed correctly…that was a dumb move. And Tom Poston was right about a Southpaw. Stadiums in the old days were constructed facing West and a Lefty’s throw came from the South!
Even in 1959 when his career was young, Don Drysdale should have been easily recognizable. Making him the only one in a baseball uniform made it a layup. If I was the producer of the show, I would have decked all three in Dodger uniforms or dressed one of the fakes as the baseball player and put Big D in the cowboy outfit. Or, as another twist, I might have dressed Sandy Koufax in the baseball uniform and Drysdale as a cowboy.
As far as I have seen in all the episodes of TTTT I watched, either on this channel or when I was growing up, they never had someone from the same profession as an impostor. For one thing, that impostor would have had too big an advantage for giving correct answers. As far as Drysdale being recognizable, one advantage the producers had was that the two women on the panel knew absolutely nothing about baseball. They were taking a big chance with the two men, however. I had just turned seven, but I was a big Dodger fan (still am) and would have known Drysdale immediately. I knew he was the winning pitcher in Game 3 of that year's World Series. He became the ace of the staff in his second year in the big leagues, leading the Dodgers in victories in 1957. BTW, although in 1959 Koufax had set a National League record and tied Bob Feller's major league record of 18 strikeouts in a game, he was not yet considered a star. He was the starting pitcher in Game 5 of the 1959 World Series and might have won the clinching game of the Series if the Dodgers had given him any run support (they lost 1-0), But at most he was the number 4 starter on the team, vying with Stan Williams for that position. Drysdale, Johnny Podres and Roger Craig were definitely ahead of them. And Koufax had such a poor 1960 season (going backwards with only 8 wins versus 13 losses), after the last game of the season he threw his glove and spikes into a trash can, vowing to quit the game. Fortunately the clubhouse man, Nobe Kawano, retrieved the gear in case Sandy changed his mind over the winter. (And if not, major league baseball equipment was too expensive to just throw away.) Fortunately for Koufax and the baseball world, he decided to give the game one more try. He realized that he could stay in better shape over the winter. And between the efforts of a Dodger scout by the name of Kenny Myers and a backup catcher named Norm Sherry, they were able to correct a flaw in Sandy's delivery that caused him to have inconsistent control. As a result from 1961-66, he had what is considered the most dominant stretch of seasons of any pitcher in the history of major league baseball.
The Dodgers had only been in Los Angeles for two years and only televised a few games a year. Commercial TV had been around for not much more than a decade. I can understand the two women panelists not recognizing or even knowing about Don Drysdale. Don Ameche disqualified himself because he knew something about sports . He had been a co-owner of the Los Angeles Dons of the All-America Football Conference which once was a rival of the National Football League, and he was also a cousin of Allan Ameche, the fullback of the Baltimore Colts.
Pitchers face west (left arm on his southside, right arm on his northside) so the sun is behind the batter (and grandstand). Otherwise, the batter would be looking into sun and not seeing the ball.
That would be true, if the games were played at 6:00 am. But because they were played in the afternoon, before lights were added, the sun was more directly over head.
That's backwards. If games were played at 6:00 am, pitchers would face east, with the sun behind the batter. As it is, facing west prevents a blind spot behind the pitcher, especially in extra-inning games and doubleheaders that would have the sun lower in the sky in September and October. Bottom line - if you know a better reason for the term "Southpaw", what is it?
@@tankjohnson5857 Don't believe what? WS games were day games up until the '70's. I used to play hookey and stay home and watch the games. Sports broadcasts in the '50's, 60's were nothing like they are today.
The Dodgers had two Dons in the 1950's and 60's who were good hitting pitchers and hit 7 home runs during one of their seasons. The other was Don Newcombe and he was used as a pinch hitter even more often than Drysdale. And he also won 27 games in 1956 en route to the Cy Young Award, so he was a great pitcher as well.
Hint: they couldn't get two other uniforms...hahahahahaha! BTW, this was the first championship after the team moved to Los Angeles. Don Ameche was involved with L.A. sports, so I'm not surprised he disqualified himself. He was a big shot with the Los Angeles Dons football team which merged with the NFL's Rams.
Baseball cards are for children and you realize there wasn’t cable TV till the mid 70s most games were never shown until late 60s…just the World Series.
@@jamesm.3967 You never heard of 'ol Diz and Pee Wee? I grew up in the 1950's watching numerous baseball games on television with my Dad. True, the coverage was not like my MLB account of today, but there was a game of the week on CBS and other networks. As for baseball cards, the market is very different today. Baseball cards are primarily for adults now and the market is for the "Old Masters" cards. The children of the 1950's were the morons who put Mickey Mantle cards in the spokes of their bicycles.

Errrrrrrrr yes! A southpaw is a left-hander or the left hand. Today, the word is primarily used in baseball, but appears in other contexts as well. But despite its use in baseball, the term almost certainly did not originate with that sport. Use of southpaw to mean the left hand goes back all the way to 1813, long before baseball, as we know it today, existed.
